Anyone who has been ordered to go into official home quarantine for a stay abroad or for any other reason must strictly comply. Anyone with symptoms should not go into the community, but rather stay home and notify their GP by phone.
The protection of elderly and chronic patients is of the utmost importance. The elderly are also asked to pay more attention to themselves and general precautions. Visiting hospitals and nursing homes is prohibited. And nursing home administrators must do everything possible to prevent infections, they add.
The measurement of body temperature is mandatory in schools and kindergartens to filter out feverish children and educators and thus protect the smooth running of kindergartens and schools.
